STORAGE
DEVICES
•A storage device refers to a
computing hardware used to store
information permanently or
temporarily.
 STORAGE
DEVICES
•The device can be external
or internal to a computer.
TYPES OF STORAGE
DEVICES
•PRIMARY STORAGE DEVICE
•SECONDARY STORAGE
DEVICE
CLASSIFICATION OF STORAGE
DEVICES

•Magnetic Storage
•Optical Storage
•Flash Storage
PRIMARY STORAGE DEVICE

•Designed to capture or hold data for a

temporary period.
•Found inside the computer, and they have the
fastest access to data.
SECONDARY STORAGE
DEVICE
• Can store data permanently.
• Can be removable, internal
or external.
MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
• One of the most common types of storage
used with computers.
TYPES OF MAGNETIC STORAGE

•Floppy Disk
•Hard Disk Drive
•Magnetic Strip
•Cassette Tape
•Zip Diskette
FLOPPY DISK
• a type of disk storage composed of a disk of
thin and flexible magnetic storage medium,
sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure
lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
FLOPPY
DISKETTE
HARD DISK
DRIVE
• A non-volatile
memory hardware device that
permanently stores and retrieves data
on a computer.

• A magnetically thin coated piece of
plastic wrapped around wheels capable
of storing data.
TAPE CASSETTE
TAPE CASSETTE
ZIP DISKETTE
• A hardware data storage device developed
by Iomega that functions like a standard
1.44" floppy drive and diskette.

OPTICAL STORAGE
DEVICES
OPTICAL STORAGE DEVICE
•Another common storage is optical
storage, which uses lasers and lights as
its method of reading and writing data.
BLU-RAY DISC
•An optical disc format developed
by thirteen consumer electronics
and PC companies.
BLU-RAY DISC
CD-RW DISC
•a compact disc that can be written, read
many times, erased, and written again.
The technology was introduced in
1997.
CD-RW DISC
CD-R DISC
• CD-R is short for CD-Recordable.
• A writable disc and drive that is capable of having
information written to the disc once and then
having that disc read many times.
• Data cannot be deleted from a CD-R disc and a
CD-R disc cannot be formatted.
CD-R DISC
DVD-R DISC
• Short for Digital Versatile Disc-Recordable.
• A drive capable of recording once to a disc
and reading many times after it has been
created.
DVD-R DISC
DVD-RW DISC
• Short for DVD-ReWritable.
• The data on a DVD-RW disc can be erased
and recorded over numerous times without
damaging the medium.

Types of
Flash Memory Devices
•Flash Drive
•Memory Card
•Solid-State Drive
USB FLASH
DRIVE
• Universal Serial Bus.
• A portable storage device.
• It is often the size of a human thumb, and it connects
to a computer via a USB port. Flash drives are an easy
way to store and transfer information. They are
available in sizes ranging from 2 GB to 1 TB.
USB FLASH

MEMORY CARD
• A type of storage media that is often
used to store photos, videos, or other
data in electronic devices.
